As we all know, there are Asian women and other races that do not have a double eyelid and wish to have one. Monolid eyes or single eyelid is beautiful but it makes you look tired and sleepy and sometimes this is the reason they wanted to have double eyelid. It will define the eyelids and will make the eyes more attractive. Mostly, double eyelid surgery is for cosmetic purposes, but it can be also for a medical reason. If your eyelid is drooping which blocks your vision, you can also undergo double eyelid surgery to correct it.
Double Eyelid Surgery
Double eyelid surgery is a type of cosmetic operation where the skin around the eye is reshaped to create a crease. This will make the eyes more attractive and livelier. There are two types of double eyelid surgery in Singapore. They are Incisional and Non-incisional surgery.
Incisional Procedure
This procedure is suitable for all eyelid forms and requires cutting of skin. To establish a permanent and long-lasting crease, it removes skin and fat and tightly stitches the skin to the muscle. However, contrary to the non-incisional procedure, healing time is longer. The chance of scarring is minimal and once finished, it cannot be reversed.
Non-incisional Procedure
The non-incisional procedure is generally referred to as the buried suture technique. It is a minimally invasive technique that creates a crease by stitching the skin to the connective tissue. This is the best choice for individuals who are fearful of going under the knife. But for those who have thick skin or excess skin and fats in the eyelid, this type of surgery is not appropriate. The downtime of non-incisional is shorter compared to incisional.
After a consultation, your doctor mayadvise that both incisional and non-incisional are suitable for you, but the decision is all up to you. Make sure that you ask your doctor about the pros and cons of both of the techniques. For non-incisional technique, stitches will be made on each eyelid. Of course, these stitches are visible in the first few days and will leave a scar but applying a scar cream that is prescribed by your doctor will help the scar lighten over time[https://www.webmd.com/beauty/cosmetic-procedures-scars#1]. The recovery is fast and at four weeks it will already look natural. This method is more popular because of its fast recovery, it can be reversed, less invasive, and relatively low scarring.
